Community Tasting Note

bevetroppo Likes this wine:

Saturday, February 24, 2024 - I was not familiar with 1er Cru Beugnons, which is a section of Vaillons at the very southwest edge entitled among other sub-zones to be labeled on its own at the producer's discretion. Equally unfamiliar with Sebastien Dampt, a younger member of the Daniel Dampt family who makes his wines on the same premises and in the same general style.

Pretty gold color. Immediately enticing aromas of fresh lemons, seashell and iodine, with the faintest but not distracting herbal tinge. Good 1er cru heft on the balanced expressive palate, yellow fruits, minerals and a tell-tale saline, chalky and zippy acid finish with good persistence. Young but composed and a pleasure to drink even now.

I had a few drops left in the bottle at the end of the evening that had been sitting at room temperature for over an hour. Something told me to give it a go, and it was delicious. You want a method to determine balance in your white wine, here's a torture test.
